Among the guests, Zhuang Heng was initially shocked as well. How much honor did Su Xingyu have to invite Mr. Lee as an elder?
But she quickly cald down, hearing the discussions around her, joining in with a sly smile: "Probably Su Xingyu begged and clung to Shifeng, and Shifeng had no choice but to agree to her. Otherwise, with Shifeng and the Lu Family’s upbringing, how could they not know that the elder from the bride’s side should be soone from the bride’s family? Only Su Xingyu, who lost her mother when she was young and had no one to teach her, would not know."
The remark was sowhat sharp, causing several nearby guests to glance at her.
So thought, the daughter from the Zhuang Family, usually so gentle and elegant, how did she beco like this?
But others thought, no wonder Zhuang Heng was resentful, who wouldn’t be? She was originally well-matched with Lu Shifeng, childhood sweethearts, but Su Xingyu ca out of nowhere and snatched her fiancé.
So soone nodded in agreent: "It seems to be true."
Zhuang Heng’s lips curled into a victorious smile, heh, so what if Su Xingyu wore a wedding dress with all this glory? She still had ways to ruin her reputation!
Over there, Su Xingyu, feeling both honored and surprised, looked at Mr. Lee, not knowing what to do with her hands and feet. She had wondered what kind of elder Lu Shifeng would find for her, but never expected soone so influential. She had no ti to think about whether this was the groom’s or the bride’s elder, only feeling unbelievably honored.
"Mr. Lee..." she said with rare modesty.
Mr. Lee, with a head full of silver hair and eyes that exuded authoritative calm, kindly smiled at her: "Girl from the Mu Family, don’t be so restrained. Your grandfather and I were classmates at the sa university in the United States when we were young, and we got along very well, almost made a pact for our children to get married. Unfortunately, Lei’s father didn’t have the fortune to marry your mother, nor did Lei have the fortune to marry you; that boy from the Lu Family was a step ahead. Today, I can walk you down the aisle in place of your grandfather, fulfilling an old friendship."
With these words, the guests were in an uproar again.
Turns out, wasn’t he doing this for the sake of the Lu Family?
"I rember now!" soone among the guests exclaid, "Mr. Lee did study in the United States for a while when he was young, in the sa school with Mu Liancheng, Mr. Lu’s wife, and the others!"
"Then, this isn’t actually the groom’s relationship," soone else said.
"Speaking of which, Su Xingyu is a daughter of a good family; a lady from a powerful clan remains a lady, even in hardship, she still has so foundation. Many existing wealthy families can’t invite a prominent figure like Mr. Lee!"
"Who just said Su Xingyu was uneducated? Who said she clung to Lu Shifeng to find soone? It turns out she’s relying on her ancestral connections!" This guest said a bit louder, and many heard it.
Including Zhuang Heng.
Zhuang Heng’s face turned pale, indeed, wasn’t she the one who just said that?
Yet now, in just a few seconds, she was brutally faced with reality!
Many people’s gazes turned towards Zhuang Heng, with pity, ridicule, regret... all kinds of expressions.
Zhuang Heng couldn’t help but bite her lips, lowering her head, wishing she could disappear.
However... just wait!
She would not give up so easily!
Su Xingyu spoke a few more words with Mr. Lee, extending her arm to link with his, and walked step by step onto the red carpet amidst the lodious wedding march, draped with petals and confetti, towards Lu Shifeng.
Lu Shifeng stood tall at the end of the red carpet, like an unchanging ice and snow sculpture, cold yet comforting.
He extended his hand towards her.
Mr. Lee placed her hand into his.
The crowd stirred excitedly, and the master of ceremonies smiled warmly, saying many auspicious words.
A gentle breeze brushed across the lawn, she, in her snow-like wedding dress, her delicate face slightly lifted to et his eyes. Was this the person she was destined to spend her life with? Such familiar and handso features, a face she could trace with her fingers even with eyes closed, admittedly a bit overbearing and conceited but always caring for and protecting her in his own way...
The once skeptical Su Xingyu always thought the heavens were unfair, but now, standing here, she realized the heavens were actually kind to her. She smiled at Lu Shifeng, her voice soft: "So lucky to have t you."
Lu Shifeng also gazed down at her, his expression as gentle as could be.
The wedding officiant solemnly asked: "Mr. Lu Shifeng, do you take Miss Su Xingyu as your wife, to care for her and protect her, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, to never abandon her?"
She looked at him with hope, her eyes shining with happiness.
The guests on the lawn held their breaths, quietly awaiting his beautiful answer.
He said, "I——"
"Wait!" Before he could finish, a woman’s sharp voice suddenly rang out.
Su Xingyu’s heart skipped a beat, an ominous feeling rising within her as she turned her head along with everyone else.
It was Zhuang Heng, in a dress adorned with pearls, pointing at the stage: "Shifeng, you can’t marry her!"
This announcent shocked everyone.
What was going on, soone actually causing a scene at Mr. Lu’s wedding?
The disturber was none other than Zhuang Heng, who was rumored with Mr. Lu for many years?!
Gossip!
Everyone’s curiosity was piqued, wishing to ask Zhuang Heng on behalf of Lu Shifeng, why?
But Lu Shifeng did not ask, his face darkened the mont Zhuang Heng spoke, saying coldly: "Who I marry is my business. Security, Miss Zhuang seems unwell, help her inside to rest."
It was clear he wanted to have the disturber removed right away.
Zhuang Heng was outraged, she had prepared ticulously, yet Lu Shifeng didn’t even care to listen to her reasons before having her taken away! How much did he love Su Xingyu, how could he possibly love Su Xingyu?
Her heart ached as if a thousand knives were cutting it, and seeing the security guards really coming to "assist" her, Zhuang Heng couldn’t care about much else and hurriedly shouted: "Shifeng, you really can’t marry her! Su Xingyu has been secretly taking birth control pills behind your back, and the doctor has long diagnosed that she’s overdosed and can’t conceive! She will never be able to have children! Are you going to let the Lu Family end without an heir?"
This claim was too shocking, and the crowd exploded into chaos.
Even Su Xingyu, dressed in her wedding gown on stage, wobbled, her face suddenly turning pale—
How did Zhuang Heng know about her secretly taking birth control pills?
Lu Shifeng was initially going to have Zhuang Heng removed, but upon hearing her explosive news, his eyes turned dark as he looked at Su Xingyu, his tone icy as frost: "Is what she said true?"
"No..." Faced with his frightening deanor, she instinctively shook her head to deny, "Shifeng, I didn’t..."
She had stopped taking the pills a long ti ago, saying she hadn’t now wasn’t lying to him!
But the surrounding guests were still in an uproar: "No way, what is Su Xingyu thinking, not wanting to have a child for Mr. Lu? Birth control pills, just taking them casually?"
